LCHS is scheduled to finish nearly all of PARCC testing within two weeks. Over 180 computers in the library and nine additional computer labs assure timely access to online testing with minimal disruption to classroom instruction. During testing weeks, the library will be closed for instruction and checking out books. National Library Week, 2017, is April 9-15. Photo by S. Schripsema.
